Meet the large print telephone

 

Hi there!  It’s Donna and thank you for allowing me to come into your inbox.

Today, I’d like to talk about the large print telephone.

Let’s meet this product.

 

Meet the large print telephone

When I had enough vision to see the large print, I found this product to be enormously helpful to me and now that I can no longer see the large print I still continue to appreciate the large keys.

 

Many of you have probably met this product already but I’d like to familiarize those of you who have not yet done so.  This is an excellent product for many of those who have difficulty seeing and navigating the normal keypad and screen of a regular telephone.

 

The keys are larger, and the print on the keys is also larger.  In addition, the screen is also larger thus making the display larger as well.  It is easier to use this phone and many of those who have difficulty seeing the keys and screen on a regular phone can certainly benefit from this great product.

 

The large print telephone is available at most stores that sell products for blind and partially sighted consumers and may even be available at some of the larger regular stores.

 

So go out there and make friends with the large print telephone.

 

That’s it from me for this week.
